In this episode, Chris and Conor McCarthy explore the move from standard Chatbots to Agentic AI.

If you are trying to figure out how to move beyond basic prompts and build systems that actually do the work for you, this conversation is for you. Conor breaks down the confusion between simple workflows and true AI agents, sharing practical examples of how to automate everything from email triage to complex coding tasks.

In this episode, we cover:

• The 3 Levels of AI Interaction: From basic LLMs to "If/Then" workflows, and finally, true Agentic AI.
• The "Decision" Factor: How to trust AI to make decisions without you watching over its shoulder.
• Real-World Wins: How to use agents to fix your inbox and optimise marketing ads automatically.
• The Tech Stack: A look at "Model Context Protocols" (MCPs) and tools like Lindy.ai and Claude Code.
